I think the author does not present adequate evidence to support his argument. This is because all he wrote was a scenarios that he can envision given the circumstances. There are no accurate data given like statistics, transcriptions, or even bills or laws that supports his views. All I can glean is that these are suppositions that may or may not be true given the circumstances it is presented with.
Let's look at lines 17-19 again:
<span>17. Its letters, although naturally lying
18. Like the knight Pinto-Mendez Ferdinando-
19. Still form a synonym for Truth-Cease trying!
The crucial word here is "like" - it means that the letters are "like" - compared to the knight. A direct comparison such as this one is a Simile - this is the correct answer.
A metaphor is similar to a simile in that it treats something as if it was another thing, but it does not include a direct comparison.

Consider the following conditional sentences, and pay close attention to the conditional verbs in each of them:
If my cousin had been just a little taller, he could have been a basketball player.
If I had enough money, I would travel around the world.
If Alex finishes his essay, he will come over tomorrow.
After looking at how a conditional verb is used in a sentence. I would say that Conditional is the correct answer.
Top is death reaction to Johnny
Bottom is death reaction to dally
